European Storm Workshops

A major source of natural hazards, mid-latitude storms have devastating socio-economic impacts. Yet the processes involved in their intensification and generation of disastrous impacts such as flooding are not fully understood.

History and Objectives

Initiated by David Stephenson in 2011 the European storm workshops aims
at bringing together dynamical meteorologists, climatologists,
statisticians, stakeholders and risk model developers from insurance and
engineering consultant companies. Thereby, these interdisciplinary
workshops try to bridge state-of-the-art breakthroughs in sciences to
the practical implementation in risk modeling.
